Crime drama series.
Cases if the attorneys at Los Angeles law firm
McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney and Kuzak. The large ensemble cast were each given
plenty of screen time and the show devoted as much time to the lawyer's personal
lives as it did to their professional ones. Over the years cast members came and
went with alarming regularity with several leaving to set up practice on their
own (including Abby Perkins and Michael Kuzack). Intriguingly two characters
from the show Civil Wars crossed over
into this show, the two were Eli Levinson and Denise Ianello. The name of the
law firm also changed several times ti take in the various cast changes.
